Bob Ferguson, the new governor of Washington, wasted no time in <\/span>signing<\/span><\/a> an executive order to expand abortion in his state, just moments after wrapping up his inaugural speech. The former attorney general-turned-governor has a long <\/span>history<\/span><\/a> of promoting abortion in Washington, going so far as to push the FDA to loosen its restrictions on the abortion pill, despite the known risks<\/a><\/span> to women.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWashington is not immune from this nationwide crisis and must be proactive in taking steps to preserve reproductive freedom within this state,\u201d said Ferguson. His executive order directs Washington\u2019s Department of Health to gather a group of medical businesses, health experts, and policymakers to find avenues for expanding abortion in the state. <\/span><\/p>\n

The order claims that \u201call people deserve to make their own decisions about their pregnancies, including deciding to end a pregnancy.\u201d It further states that \u201caccess to\u2026pregnancy termination is of paramount importance for individual and public health.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

His executive <\/span>order<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>cites<\/span><\/a> the overturning of <\/span>Roe v Wade <\/span><\/i>in 2022<\/span> by the Supreme Court <\/span>Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization <\/span><\/i>decision as the \u201ccatalyst for a nationwide reproductive care-access crisis, particularly as to abortion.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Abortion is already legally committed on preborn children up to 24 weeks in Washington state,<\/span> though babies born prematurely<\/a> \u2014 as young as 21 weeks<\/a> \u2014 have <\/span>survived<\/span><\/a> outside their mothers\u2019 wombs with medical care. Heartbreakingly, 24 weeks is also far beyond the age many scientists <\/span>believe<\/span><\/a> fetuses can feel pain, a sickening and tragic aspect of allowing their violent death in the womb. <\/span><\/p>\n

Between 13 and 24 weeks, abortions are typically <\/span>committed<\/span><\/a> via D&E (dilation and evacuation) procedures, meaning the abortionist dilates the mother\u2019s cervix and then dismembers the preborn child (who is often still alive at the time) by using a Sopher clamp to tear off her arms and legs, then removing the rest of her body piece by piece, crushing the skull and removing the pieces as a final, gruesome step.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Per Gov. Ferguson, the order to convene the group tasked with expanding abortion in Washington \u201cshall take effect immediately.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
